10 million a year for a .500 pitcher with a 4.3 something lifetime era whats going on

164 games played. That mean teams are making $$$$$. Im all for players making their money. MLB has a strong Players Union unlike the NFL Players Union.

Thats the bottom line...I dont know what its like at other parks, but I honestly have a tough time justifying spending over $120 bucks for my family of four...just to get in the door (the youngest is only 8 months and therefore still free).:wink:

Once again, I will ignore till August, see if the D-backs are competing and either get interested or wait get tuned into Football...
 
Theo's deals last year of Big Papi 4 year 52 million and Josh Beckett 3 years 30 million are looking like better deals everyday..
 
If the guys are getting offered the contracts what are they supposed to do? Rip on Bonds all you want but he's going to put fans in the seats. Whether people love him or hate him fans will come to watch him break the record. Pitchers still fear Bonds even if he "can't even hit the ball on the left side of the field." I think I remember seeing that Bonds had more intentional walks than Pujols. Teams put the shift on for Thome and Ortiz does that mean they're garbage also?

no they arent garbage its just people consider bonds the greatest hitter and no one should be considered great when they cany hit oppisite field
 
This is what happens when you have a weak free agent class. The marginal players all move up in class because they are all that is available.

Singling one time at bat out of how many thousands doesnt really help your arguement Mike.

That being said, it sickens me to watch how teams play Bonds, you know the shortstop playing all the way around at first base.......the Second baseman playing right field...the Right Fielder playing in the visitors bullpen....what sickens me even more is that even with the ridiculous shift, he is still one of the best to ever swing the bat...:tantrum:

The guy said he can't hit to the opposite field. One guy gave video of him doing it one time. I just gave another example.

Just proving that he CAN can and DOES hit to the opposite field!:shakeno:
